ONGC to Open Vindhyan Basin for Gas Production

ONGC, which opened seven out of India's eight oil and gas producing basins, is on the way to open another basin, Vindhyan as it details out commercialization of a gas discovery in Madhya Pradesh. An exploratory well in Son valley sector in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh district discovered gas, and on tests confirmed commercially available volumes, the company said in a statement. 

 

"Oil and Natural Gas Corporation(ONGC) is on its way to commercialize another Basin -- the Vindhyan Basin. This would be the ninth producing Basin of India (and) the eighth by ONGC," it said. The firm had in December 2020 opened the eighth Indian Basin - the Bengal Basin, when commercial oil production started from Ashok Nagar discovery.

 

India has 26 sedimentary basins, covering a total area of 3.4 million square kilometers spread over land and sea. Of these, 7 basins – Krishna Godavari, Mumbai Offshore, Assam Shelf, Rajasthan, Cauvery, Assam-Arakan Fold Belt and Cambay – have commercially producing oil and gas discoveries. Bengal got added to the list in December 2020.
